Tom McKibbin was the strongest Irish challenger and made it as far as the 17th hole before officials called a halt to proceedings.
After a seven-under par yesterday, McKibbin was one of a glut of players bunched together tied for fourth spot on 10-under.
Conor Purcell was unable to back up his 65 on Thursday as he struggled on one-over for the day to leave himself in a share of 36th place on six-under par.
